About this map

Fort Polk Military Reservation dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Peason Ridge Artillery Range overlaps with the Peason Ridge State Wildlife Management Area. This transition from military utilization to conservation land defines the geography south of the Reservation Boundary. To the north, the settlement of Peason serves as a central hub, surrounded by a network of drainage systems including Kisatchie Bayou and Long Branch Creek.

Local landmarks such as the Peason Fire Tower and Eagle Hill provide topographic perspective on the rolling piney woods. Genealogists and local historians can locate established community centers like the United Pentecostal Church and Calvary Church, or the small hamlet of Corleyville near Toro Creek. The intricate drainage pattern of Mill Creek and Goodson Creek in the northwest illustrates the natural hydrology that shaped early Sabine Parish settlement before the modern boundaries of the military reservation were established.
